Existing [stub file here](https://github.com/NoelFB/Foster/blob/main/Platform/src/foster_renderer_d3d11.c). Blah's original [implementation here](https://github.com/NoelFB/blah/blob/master/src/internal/blah_renderer_d3d11.cpp).

I'm not sure about this yet, but SDL3 introduced a new Storage API that would be good for Save Data across platforms (desktop, consoles, web, etc). It may make sense...
